The Teaching Service Commission (TSC) has lost a case over its refusal to disclose an unredacted investigative report to a teacher who was disciplined based on it.
Delivering a judgment late last week, Justice Marissa Robertson upheld the judicial review lawsuit brought by Deomatie Sookhan against the TSC over its handling of her disclosure request under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).
Justice Robertson found that the TSC provided no evidence justifying its decision to provide Sookhan an edited copy of the investigator’s report, which led her to face disciplinary charges.
